Works as described and switching from Mailchimp/Shopify was easy. Thank you for having a free option for small biz and startups!

I was pleasantly surprised that the transition went much more smoothly than I would have expected. Thanks.

There's only one day left before the MailChimp/Shopify integration ends and there's a huge notice when installing this app: "Important! Please archive any Mailchimp welcome e-mail automation before installing ShopSync If you have welcome e-mail automations running in Mailchimp, please archive (not pause) before installing ShopSync. There have been reports that emails have been resent after performing sync, and we are actively investigating the issue. Other automations are not impacted and can be migrated as noted in Mailchimp's knowledge base article." Seriously, who is stupid enough to move forward after reading this? And reading how ShopSync is replying to other people, seems like a huge loophole where ShopSync & MailChimp will not take ownership of any issues, truly try to help their users, but instead play the "blame game" and refer to the other party over and over. Removing this app right away...
Hi there, Eidon thank you for your candid feedback. We've confirmed the welcome email behavior is a bug on the Mailchimp side, and their support team is investigating. It's got something to do with timestamps misbehaving internally. To be clear, this is not something that ShopSync is doing but we felt the urgency to make it transparent so our users don't have any surprises. For now, if you have welcome automations running, we recommend that you archive them before activating our app. You can easily reactivate or recreate them after the sync is done and restart. All that to say, we hope that things will be resolved soon, but we don't have any visibility into their workloads. Other automations are ok to leave as described in the migration guide Mailchimp has published. Let us know if you have any follow up questions. Feel free to reach back out to us at [email protected].

Everything works as intended. Thank you to the team behind ShopSync for providing this app to the Shopify community.

Works well. Follow Blissful Maternity's instructions and you'll be fine. (sort by most helpful reviews) Thanks to Shopsync support also. They emailed me back promptly with one question I had regarding the process.

It might sync emails to a list, but automations do not work. Shopify, even though pushes them as a solution, have no support on it and it takes about 7 hours to sync your shop. REPLYING TO RESPONSE: No Mailchimp is not experts at this. I asked them questions about their own blog post and their EXACT reply both times "WE DO NOT OFFER SUPPORT ON THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE". I asked for help with my automation emails and their reply both times "WE DO NOT OFFER SUPPORT ON THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE". 2nd Reply: Yes, I have gone over it 3 times and have asked MC directly with no success. Only abandon cart now works.
Thanks for reaching out, sorry you're having trouble with those. If you're not already following, Mailchimp put out a great how-to guide on switching over to ShopSync. In there, you'll see a migration guide that should help you get those automations restarted: https://mailchimp.com/help/switch-shopify-shopsync/#Migrate_Your_E-commerce_Automations If for any reason they don't restart, you'll want to reach out to Mailchimp's support team for further assistance, as they are the experts in the MailChimp application, and best equipped to assist you with those needs. Let us know if you have any follow up questions, happy to help anytime. REPLY: Have you run the migration as noted?

Very simple and quick integration, I was pleasantly surprised. I will be sending out a newsletter in a couple of weeks so will be keen to see how that goes. The pausing/restarting of my abandoned cart email series worked perfectly and has been functioning as expected - thanks guys!

I'm leaving a 5 star review as up until this point I've been really happy with the ShopSync integration with MailChimp. However, I do have an issue that needs to be resolved asap. In regards to order notifications, when I click “Start Sending” in MailChimp, I hit a roadblock, as a pop-up window appears which asks me to confirm “My store is up to date”. When I check the box “My store is up to date”, the “Start” button is still greyed out and nothing happens. Any assistance you could provide in enabling order notifications would be greatly appreciated.

Useful solution now that Shopify and Mailchimp are parting ways. The app integrates perfectly the 2 services.

This app does everything I need to connect MailChimp and Shopify, including adding in Product blocks to my newsletters. I followed the extremely useful steps shared by Blissful Maternity in their 4-star review - not all applied to me, but it was a helpful walk through of things to do and to consider.

Everything went well. Nothing wrong to report. I didn't have any issue so I can't tell you if the customer service is good or no.

The installation went fairly smoothly although the whole process took a bit longer than I expected. The instructions advise you to "archive" your automation emails, but I was very hesitant to do that since the emails have to be rebuilt if you archive. The mailchimp tech support advised to "pause" the emails instead AND check the queues for the automation emails to ensure that there were no subscribers in queue that shouldn't be there. There is a way to easily remove these subscribers from the queue which I did. It was time consuming to check all of our automation email queues but less time consuming than archiving and rebuilding the automation. Very pleased to have found an App that works so well and solves this problem.

This app serves as our drop-in replacement for the soon-to-be-phased-out MailChimp app, that we can no longer use. The setup process took a While, since ShopSync was looking at your shops entire order history to pull out products, orders and match it against purchases on your Mailing List, but it seems to be well worth it for the functionality it provides.

I set this app up as the go between shopify and mailchimp. Easy to set up all seems to work fine, the team were helpful. Email test fine. Can't fault it.

When customers sign up to our email list the confirmation email goes to spam - this is a huge barrier to customers and there has been a dramatic customer retention drop off because of this :(
Hi there, thank you for the feedback. We saw your review and wanted to reach back out. With the feature you’re describing it is outside the functionality of ShopSync, we don't have control over the confirmation email sent by Mailchimp. If you're concerned about this feature, Mailchimp would be better suited to answer your questions. You can reach out to their excellent customer service team over at https://mailchimp.com/help/. You should be able to chat with them and take things from there. Let us know if you have any follow up questions or visit our support area to learn more information about ShopSync.

This is by far the worst App I have ever had it doesn't do what it says does, entering valid email addresses that are not spam or bot it chooses what it wants to send to mailchimp. So you end up missing out on sign ups if you don't closely check your list. Shopsync solution was to do a re sync that doesn't work either. Even worse now the original Sync has completely messed up my customer date order sequence in my admin section and shopsync are avoiding fixing this. Now when I select the order newest customers I get random mixture of old and new what a balls up. Now I am trying to get them to fix this they avoiding the issue. Apps like this should be banned. This whole experience has also put me off Mailchimp the whole thing has been nothing but a drama and complete waste of time.

Decided to use this based on the recommendations, we like many others were reluctant to drop Mailchimp, everything transferred over smoothly and just waiting to check everything runs smoothly after the cut off date, a good experience so far

All seems working fine, glad to have found a quick or free solution to the shopify/mailchimp issue. Easy to install and setup. No problem so far and will update my review if things change.

Quite a frustrating experience when things like this happen - but ShopSync appears to have squashed a few of those issues. It has only been a couple of days, but after some tinkering, it appears everything is running almost as it was (with the exception of the abandon cart flows - only one will work after the transition) Hopefully, everything continues to run smoothly as planned.

When I imported my subscribers about one quarter didn't import. Not sure what to do. Concerned to say the least
